Found this place and went in on a weekday, had lunch with my husband and best friend, great food and the lady that was there was super nice and took great care of us! So we wanted to go back and enjoy a date night without kids on the weekend. So last night we decided to go, it wasn't busy at all we walked in sat down at the bar and NO ONE said hi or welcome or anything to us! There was 4 bartenders there and we were never ask what we wanted to order. They all just ran around talking to each other and a few of I'm sure regular customers, no one ever made eye contact with us. We sat there for about 10 to 15 minutes then a man came in from outside and one of the bartenders looked right at him (he was standing right next to me) and she asked what would you like and fixed his drink right then. Then went back to ignoring me and my husband. I have never been anywhere that did this we felt unwelcome so we took our money and left and probably will never go back again. So disappointed we thought we found our new hang out but I was wrong.
Nico's has a very chill environment full of entertainment, amazing bartenders, and a phenomenal kitchen staff. Big screens for the sports lovers, Karaoke, pool tables, darts, and plenty of room for you & your guests You can tell that the head chef has an immense passion for what he does because it shows in each dish that leaves the kitchen. They even have a garden, so you get fresh ingredients, guaranteed! Stop by and give a little of everything a try, you won't be disappointed ✨️ Pictured below is a Margherita Pizza and Jamaican meat pies

Trucker friendly. Had a great time here, the bar does not have tap beer, but the bottled beer is kept ICE cold, and they even have a koozie for you to use while you drink. I ordered the habanero wings with blue cheese dipping sauce, and the wings were a good size and juicy. Very laid back atmosphere with plenty of screens to watch your game on. Loved it and hope to visit again sometime.

This is some of the best food in houston. Don't be surprised by the outward appearance. Order anything on the menu and you will be pleasantly surprised. Fantastic food served piping hot and friendly staff to answer any questions you may have. I have been here multiple times and ordered lots of things on the menu and never been disappointed one time.

Pros Reasonable prices for these days and the food is good. Staff was friendly and the place seemed clean. Karaoke was fun. Cons No waitstaff, a bit on the small side, most bar tenders seemed inexperienced and the bar stock basic. Not a lot of choice. The karaoke was OK, but there was no indication for pitch so you had to know the song well to attempt.

This place is very outdated and sketchy, not to mention theivery is afoot. Accidently walked my 2 beer tab last night and left my wallet. When arriving to receive wallet I'm told I walked it so like anyone who's told that I offered to pay. She said no thanks I already tried running the card from your wallet last night and only got like 4 bucks. Get my wallet back and $180 in amazon gift cards are missing and my account is -$120 from charges. I enjoyed the part where, none of it.
In a nutshell I still don't know where the "1 star rating came from last year. Yes it was my phone but several people had access to it. So after setting the record straight with the owner of Nico's today, I decided to go back and really give this establishment a 5 star rating only because I feel that It deserves it. This bar is one of the nicest in Kingwood. I used to work here and don't have complaints about the service or staff. And no I'm not being intimidated! Lol.
This was a terrible experience!!!!!! Christina was very rude and gave terrible service... I frequent many bars across the United States and over seas and have never received service of this magnitude.... I hope something is done about this. It's sad that I was here last night and had a great time plus great service, and no Christina was not on shift... GET RID OF HER!!! I would have spent $300 here today but instead I left with spending $28.14 !!!!! 9/7/2021.. 4:00pm
Found on Google looking for a place with a patio, it was a nice day. Got to the location an found out the patio is more of an outdoor smoking area, and ventured inside. No draft beers, but a good selection. Table visit from staff reminded us to check out the specials, so glad that they did. The food was amazing, come hungry. We were traveling through, wish it was closer.

Normally a great bar if you can get the bartenders off their cell phone, bar back had to get the the first round after that and after 15 minutes of watching the bar tender on her her phone and the bar back was busy I couldn't get another drink. 10-6-16. And was very confrontational when she realized a customer was needing something, so I left. But I will return for the normal good service.
Trying to call to see if they have live music tonight and nobody will answer the phone. Looking to take friends who came in from Louisiana out for some decent food but we want to make sure there will be live music, will change my review if somebody answers the phone. I've been calling several places and everybody has everybody answering, friendly informative. Not this one
These people! Kept ignoring us when we went to the bar, the girls were too busy talking with friends. Then the guy bartender forgot to put in our food. then they charged us a random 40.00 over the tab and tip. That is stealing! Do not give these people your card they will steal from u!

This was our first time here and it was great! The bartender was friendly and she greeted almost everyone by name as they walked in. She was busy but had a smile and focused on each person while taking their orders. We ordered the tacos which were really good, and the nachos which were probably the best I've ever tasted! Will definitely be back.
I just had the Bacon jam burger with a side of onion rings. It was FANTASTIC. George came out from the kitchen to meet us. The bartender was very pleasant and very attentive. We will be back.

Nico's is a clean bar. The bartenders are very nice and attentive. The food is the usual bar food, but it wad very good. I had the Lady's Delight sandwich. It was really good and had lots of fresh avocados on it. The only downside is that they don't have draught beer. They did have a good selection of bottled beer. We will return again.
I want to say thank you to the bartender that sat in the bathroom with me while my friend was having an allergic reaction and quit breathing while waiting on an ambulance. She went above and beyond her job. We had an awesome time prior to that situation. Nico's has always been one of my favorites and will always be. Thanks again!
Friendly staff and great food! We just shared appetizers and both were delicious.

We just moved to Texas and we have been looking for a nice friendly bar. We found it... Nico's was excellent!!! Angela, the Bartender, treated us like we were family. Great Great Place. We tried the Nachos... they were "off the hook" great. If you are looking for a great bar that offers NO SMOKING. This is the place.
Went here because they serve food and are open until 2am. Website sucks no mention they stop serving food at 9pm. Also it was dead AF at 11pm me the bartender a bouncer and a drunk and that was it that was there. Went to Molly's down the street and the place was happening well for a Wednesday night compared to Nico's
The few times that I have gone, the service had been "flag them down" even though there's only about 5 people at the bar. The bartenders are usually on their phones or chilling with a customer. Also, the cook is always coming out of the kitchen taking shots several times during the hour or two that I was there.
Really wish the bartenders were better. Not sure why 2 girls can't serve 15 people sitting around the bar. It took almost ten minutes to get served a few nights ago, and that's not the first time we've had that problem there. I guess only the the regulars count. Super clean. Good food. Picky bartenders.
Not sure how we never stopped here before, but the atmosphere is great! Drinks and food are good too!

This is a great place! A really fun neighborhood bar with good food, great live music and somewhere where everybody knows your name. The day bartender, Angela is fantastic and makes dropping by for lunch or afternoon drinks something to really look forward to. Keep up the good work!
Great bartender and fun energetic karaoke dj. The bartender is very attentive and the barback was very helpful to her as well he is very interactive with the customers. We had a great time with karaoke and I am completely comfortable everytime we come here. Check it out my peeps
I'm not a fan of hamburgers so believe me when I say this that the hamburgers here are the best thing I have ever eaten!!!!!! I would have given it 5 stars, but the menu is limited during the week and the waitresses aren't familiar with the menu... just the alcohol.
Had a great little farewell party for a friend and our drink server was exceptional. Made sure we had a really good time and he did not disappoint. We laughed and danced till closing time. 4 stars for the food it wasn’t that great but everything else was super!
Absolutely the place to be. Good people, good drinks, and Amazing Food!! Definitely the new spot.

I asked for beef nachos with no peppers. Delivered with a pile of peppers on top. They took them off, but by then everything else was cold. This isn't typical,, but nonetheless, disappointed..No itemized check, so didn't really know what cost what.
Local dive with solid food and a good atmosphere. Had a few drinks and dinner here while waiting on a tow truck. Locals were nice and the potato soup and grilled cheese with bacon hit the spot.

Cool little place right as you come into Kingwood on 494 across the street from the Lowe's. I heard the food was good here and I have to agree that it is. The burger was the bomb. The Philly cheesesteak was really good too. When here on
Great live music and smoke free environment. I love that I can go to a bar and not come home smelling like smoke. Great dancing and the wait staff is super friendly and are very knowledgeable. It's a great place to go relax after work.
I would give five stars, but there's always room to grow. This is a great place, friendly patrons, friendly staff, and the cook puts out some amazing food. Great experience always

Old and unimpressive bar with rude female wait staff and older drunk-in-the-middle-of-the-afternoon patrons. Terrible service (if we could get it) and a very unfriendly vibe. Don't waste your time, go to Molly's or somewhere else.
It was good! Was alot of food and had all new chef created meals. Nice atmosphere. Casual but cozy.

I really like the salad and mexican pizza but the service is not very good. The bartenders stand around and talk to other people while you are standing there waiting for service. One time, it took about 6 to 7 minutes.
Clean. No smoking, great people both patrons and staff. Good food. Generous pours. Nice shelf. Live music on intimate stage. Rumor is that Clint Alphin May appear here June 9. “The Last Guitar Player In Nashville.”
Tried coming here and was completely ignored. No, one came to our table, so didn't try the food and wasn't offered any drinks. So, we left and went to Dennys.

It's our neighborhood bar, close to home, we go there once a while to have a wine or two. It's a place with great music, just enough loud to be able to have a conversation with friends. We love the place!!!
Overpriced and overrated all the way around.... pasta was so oily my gf and I both got sick. Definitely not going back anytime soon, only good thing about that place was the karaoke jockey Chris.
It's a good place to hang out and have a drink with friends.

Called to see if they were open, was told yes. Showed up, was told "cook quit last night." ?? It's a bar and GRILL? Close down or someone get behind the grill?? Lame.
I've had a standard for an Italian sub for almost 30 years. Got one here yesterday, and oh lord, it was just as good. Never had its equal. Let alone the girls are amazing.
The bartenters were great. Had a burger and rings that were great, just like Angela said they would. My only recommendation would be for draft beer or a few craft beers.
Girl bartender named bayyah ? Talked to much and don't pay attention to the customers. You can stand there long enough to grow a beard. Music is good bar is boaring..
From a Visitor to Houstons view Nicos is fantastic. We feel like locals and the staff are so friendly. 10 out of 10 for Nico's from the "Aussie" travelers.
Nice place, good prices, had live music the Friday night I was there. Some food selections, nachos and quesadillas were good. Got to try this place out.
Always a great place to hang out with friends. Maybe call bar rescue for your food troubles

Always a great time on Saturdays with live music. This was the second time we heard this band. They’re fantastic. Sure wish I knew their name!
Cool atmosphere, nice staff, live music was a treat. We ordered nachos and poppers, they were good, would order something different next time.
They charge you for soda even though you don't order soda? And their reason is because you didn't ask. Bad place to go will not go back
Fantastic local hangout. The philly cheese pizza was amazing and the service was unmatched. This will hopefully become our go-to place.
Nice place awsome Bartender its to bad hardly any crowd there to enjoy the awesome bands Time Warp Band was playing when I went in.
